The really smart thermostat - Nest - Tony Fadell

From iPod to Thermostat - I think this will really make a difference They will cost $249 when they ship on November 14, 2011 and you`ll probably want one if you`re into all things iPhone, iPad and iPod. Tech Crunch calls Tony Fadell the Godfather of the iPod an iPhone. When he left Apple to pursue his own life, Fadell couldn`t stop his urge to create something cool and useful. Fadell`s research said that billions of homes have thermostats that are ugly and non-functional. Ugly is the ultimate sin in the world of Mac-olytes. But functionality is even more important. Nest The Learning Thermostat will learn when to turn up and turn down the heat after a few weeks of user adjustment of the temperature wheel. If you forget to turn down the heat and leave home, it turns itself down after two hours of nobody home. Fadell says it will save up to 10% of energy costs. When you dial back the heat or cooling, the Nest shows a green leaf for green energy.
